I don't think the NFL wants games with possible playoff implications being played at a neutral site like that. If I was a team playing a meaningful game "at home" in London I'd be pissed.

Actually, I think the Pats game is, outside of the AFC South, one of the more winnable games. Pats don't have shit for receivers or running backs. Even when Gronk comes back, he's had more surgeries than the Six Million Dollar Man.
The Seattle game though, I can see the Texans getting their shit pushed in with a slew of injuries.
At least we can feast on some JAX wins.

S.F. has hardly used the read option this year. Their struggles have nothing to do with it one way or the other.

SNF seems to get the best games of all the non daytime games. SNF also has the best fucking free stream of their games as well.

I saw an article today about it. Basically a bunch of players said they'd either refuse to play for that team (like Eli and San Diego) or would only go if they were paid significantly more. And the guys who said that were ones already making like $70M+.

Interesting this rivalry between Rams-49ers alltime is 62-62-3
Unless they tie again in another shitty game we get tiebreaker!
As to Grimm about Austin....its more the offense he is in which is limiting him. I cant imagine how well he would be used in a place like Denver in the slot with someone who has a clue. The Rams need to get an OC who knows how to run the spread hurry-up etc to use the strengths of this team. He is still doing pretty well for a rookie even if the offense is the most missionary boring shit I have ever seen.

A million times this. I fucking LOVE NBC for providing a free, high-quality stream for SNF. *edit* And no commercials, or maybe my adblock is just preventing me from seeing them.
Compare that to the laughable shit that nfl.com streams for the Thursday night games, where the only camera they use is the hanging one behind the QB.

I have adblock as well so I couldn't tell you about the commercials, wish TNF and MNF was the same way as SNF.

Even with good, free streams you can only polish the turd games they schedule for Thursday and Monday so much.

That's clearly his goal and everyone knows it. All the suits in the NFL see $$$$ when they look to London and having a team there.
The problem is, they aren't going to get players to sign there. Free Agents aren't going to want to go to London and fly half way across the world for away games unless they are going to get paid silly amounts of money and with the caps that just isn't going to be possible.
